Beast1979 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Ok, I'm having trouble finding the significance of "Side by Side" aside from Wind Seeker. A Wind Seeker's pretty cool I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveStroem Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Side by side? Only because it's been posted elsewhere already: http://www.parkworld...ind_Seeker.html *Mere posting of a link by Terp may or may not reveal actual information... I posted that 4 pages ago.

The Interpreter Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I know that....I said it had been posted elsewhere! Given how upset some are at the Sandusky Register, I figured you deserved some protection. Terp, who is still wondering if you found the missing water fountain (and can't believe you didn't mention it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Perhaps the proposed swings are two-seaters. I have seen those on swings before, and it would double the capacity! GYK, who doesn't understand others' fascination with Busch Gardens Tampa, and who saw it as an awkwardly-laid-out, strangely-themed "evil twin" of the Virginia park, perhaps because the Northern one is the one he was first acquainted with. But when it comes to Katonga... Wow. I'll agree with you on liking BGE over BGA, and by a wide margin... But isn't the new ride rumored to be called Cheetaka?

DaveStroem Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Nope, never found a water fountain at Camden. Don't really remember looking for one. I did buy a Lg soda for $1.99 and 6 Pronto pups @ 1.89 ea. They would have been better if they had some ketchup available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Ketchup on a Pronto Pup? Ketchup was available, but from the West Virginia Grille aka The Cafeteria, IF it was open, which it may not have been. Apparently, most West Virginians greatly disdain ketchup on hot dogs of any kind. It's considered a sacrilege: ...Zoning, schmoning, serving a mediocre hot dog with ketchup as a standard option is reason enough for a "cease and desist" order.... http://www.wvhotdogs.com/ Also, small soft drinks are now 99 cents at Camden, but that in no way excuses the removal of the water fountain. I am astounded nothing has been done about this....so far. Perhaps their new attraction for 2011 will be a water fountain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Millennium Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 BGT Tampa is beautiful, great rides, difficult layout. I liked the park overall. But if BGW food is anything like BGT...then I'm not too excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Some of the best ribs I have ever had in any park have been in two parks in Florida: * Busch Gardens Tampa * WDW's Animal Kingdom I love BGT's food. I find it far superior to most in the industry, and well priced as well. Oddly, Cedar Fair's Geauga Lake also had great ribs, and very economically priced.

Isn't the GL BBQ joint a remnant from SeaWorld? They were great under Sea World, mediocre under Six Flags, and Above Average under Cedar Fair. Both of the Busch parks impressed me with the value of their food... the quality wasn't astounding, but I felt that it was priced accordingly. Disney's food is hit or miss, it is overpriced (especially in any sort of sit-down environment), but the quality across the board is much better than most CF's parks offerings. To KI's credit, my wife and I quite enjoyed the $6.49 (or whatever) Johnsonville Brat, chips, and fountain drink combo. Tasted good, and great value. ::looks at thread title:: CP is getting something new next year??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Be careful. This year, Cedar Point got new pizza. It was wonderful at Chuck Wagon last year. As for this year, the ribs at Kings Island were better than Cedar Point's new pizza....truly. Orange grease, orange grease and doughy...and oh, did I mention the orange grease?

Purplehaze Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 We are lucky with the pizza. It is the same recipe that was used back in the 70's. The one they use in the stores are a little different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I must be getting older...I used to detest LaRosa's at Kings Island, and Holiday World's pizza. This year, I've found myself liking both. If I like Knobels' too later this year, I will know I am getting to be an old softie in my old age. Still, Dorney has always had my favorite park pizza...I hope they didn't change IT this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for this year, the ribs at Kings Island were better than Cedar Point's new pizza....truly. Orange grease, orange grease and doughy...and oh, did I mention the orange grease? And the big brag for the new pizza was fresh-made dough, no? I don't understand why a department with such limited success (CF's food service) decided to take the most demanding and complicated ingredient and place it in the hands (literally!) of a group of overworked and underpaid teenagers. Keep the frozen dough, incorporate a better spice mix into the sauce (there are dozens of different packets available from every majof food supplier) and buy a better cheese blend and it would be great. Overall, good pizza isn't hard to do. Dough, though, is very tricky, and even moreso if you want consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except since Cedar Fair took over, they have been putting the pepperoni on top of the cheese, not the proper LaRosa's way which is under the cheese.

The Interpreter Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Uh, the pepperoni at Kings Island has ALWAYS been on top of the cheese. It was in 1972, it is today. Since Cedar Fair took over, they have also offered sausage...they did not used to. Coney Island of Ohio also has LaRosa's, but I honestly don't know where they put the pepperoni there...I know the Skyline at Coney Island of Ohio is better than at Kings Island or in the company's own stores.

markr Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I am sure I am right about this one Terpie about the pepperoni being below the cheese in the pre-Cedar Fair days, which is how the pizza is at the local stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I had a slice of pizza back in 1972, and every year since. Not once do I remember ever having Kings Island pizza with pepperoni beneath the cheese. Even WooferBearATL earlier confirmed that the park has always had the pepperoni above the cheese, so guests can quickly tell the pepperoni pizza from the cheese pizza....

CoastersRZ Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I believe that the LaRosa`s pepperoni pizza at Coney is served with the pepperoni under the cheese, but don`t hold me to that. I normally don`t get pepperoni pizza, and opt for just plain cheese. I should know as Coney served up some free LaRosa`s pizza and soft drinks at the employee corn hole tournament this past Monday evening. But as I mentioned before, I got some slices of cheese and not pepperoni. A little trivia about Coney`s LaRosa`s locations. There are two LaRosa`s locations at Coney. One on the dry side across from Dodgems and golf, and one over at Sunlite Pool. All the pizzas are actually baked at the location on the dry side of the park (which is also the only food location at Coney that has an air conditioned eating area, albeit it a very small one), and then carted over to the second location at the pool. I did not know that KI had begun serving sausage pizza. I know that they had pictures it on the new video menu boards, but thought that it was a goof, since I had never personally seen a sausage pizza at KI.

The Interpreter Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 It's sausage AND pepperoni. They've had it for some time...even last season, I believe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 So I take it you can only get Sausage if you get a pizza with pepperoni? LaRosa`s Pizza is good, but Dewey`s Pizza is also really good. (The first location of this chain was located in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Oakley). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
